Advice for the flight.
- check as much luggage as possible, but include at least one change of clothes for your daugther in your carryon.
- you can take food through security just not liquid, so pack a bookbag for your daughter with a bunch of snacks, single serve cereals, etc. Buy milk and such once you are through security.
- have your daughter where slip on shoes like crocs. you take them off at security.
- we had our 3.5 yr. where a harness for both the airport and the park. It was a lifesaver. You have to take it off at security, but otherwise it gives you and them SOME freedom. Amazon has one that is Mickey Mouse.

- If you take a DVD player it will need to go through the scanner seperately.
- when you arrive at the Orlando airport, you take a free shuttle to the main terminal. They are roomy. I believe that the car rental is on the 2nd floor of the main terminal.
The Park:
- take suntan lotion for the park as well as the cruise. there is alot of blacktop that the rays bounce off. you can put it in your checked baggage.
- At Magic Kingdom there is a tent in Mickey's Toon Town near Mickey's house that is a store. There is a room on the side/back where Tinkerbell & Friends, AND Cinderella, Aurora, and Belle sit all day for pictures.
- Snow White and Fairy Godmother take pics near the backside of the castle
- Belle comes and tells a story in a corner near the right side of the castle/the Starlight (? Its silver and futuristic) cafe.
- You can bring food/drinks into the park. They do a bag check at the entrance, but don't stop food/drinks.
